I don't know what it is, but all of the versions of Narciso Rodriguez for Him are really fascinating to me. I think it's because I find them both attractive and challenging. I have the EDT, the Musc Oil, and the Musc Collection EDP. I don't wear them out of the house that much because I don't know how well I pull them off, but they're scents that I can't stop sniffing. The bottles are really cool too. I would love to see an Eau de Cologne/ Eau Fraiche type flanker from this line with more of the wonderful green banana quirkiness of the EDT.

NR for him in all known variations (for him, musc oil for him, musc collection EdP for him) was always an outstanding good perfume for me, despite it is no niche or anything, it surely was always in my top5 and sometimes maybe even achieved 1st place.

This morning I bought the new "For him Eau de Parfum Intense" (come on... even the SAs didn't know this is sth new... and even the packaging does NOT have written the complete "Eau de Parfum Intense" written on it... what is this???), and I think after wearing it one day, I have to say that this is the best of all NR fragrances to date. I cannot find the right words to describe how wonderful this wears on the skin. I am even hoping right now, that I finally found a fragrance that I can wear EVERY day, and choose my niche Parfums only for evening and very special events. It is that good!

I think it is closest to the Musc Collection EdP. The start even quite smells the same, but after 1h, You're in scent heaven. It's the most tender of the 4, imagine maybe the Musc Collection EdP done as an Oil. While the Musc Collection smelled a little violet and turquoise and very grey to me, this one smells even more grey and a little black... very modern, understated, unique and urban.

Yes, it has this unique "urban", "big city" style, that all of the NRs have, but in a calmer way. Like if You are not walking through the stressy streets of the city, but like if You watch the city in the night from a high skyscraper. Maybe You know what I mean :-)
I love it!

Great description! Makes me want to try this one bad. Anyone know where in the US I can sample this. I called saks but they did not have it, only the original.

It's a limited edition for women if I'm not mistaken. Is this what everyone is talking about?

The box looked like this:

The black box that I saw had the grey bar on the top with only the word "Essence".
So I guess I smelled the Intense version. Confusing stuff with all these flankers.
I'm going back around 18 july and I'll test it on my skin.

The bottle has a clear edge and copper centre, compared to the darker edge and silver centre of the original Musc collection for him (as per the photo above, earlier in this same thread). I don't think there's mention of words such as 'Intense'. It seems to simply be an EDP of 'For him'. The blurb at Escentual says it is "Formerly know as "Narciso Rodriguez for him Musc Collection - eau de parfum". However, I recall it isn't just a re-packaging, it has more Iris in it or something (?)

Why does that mean it's not the original? There aren't any signs of an Intense or Musc version. Anyway, if the Intense is available, they should have made it easier to find than ordering from a seller's sample on ebay, ha. As for that pic at Escentual, it looks like they are offering the Musc for sale but have a pic of the Intense. I'm about to just give up on ever finding it, ha.

Re: New Fragrance: Narciso Rodriguez For Him Eau de Parfum Intense

i'd avoid this and for go for the EDT - its muskier, manlier and theres a certain robustness to it.
this is a bit powdery (the Iris) and stale in animalicness due to its composition - sure, it outlasts the EDT - but more in a skin-scent kind of a way.
